"Windmill Green" - reserved matters consent granted

“Windmill Green” has now got its reserved matters consent. This means that building can go ahead in line with the final plans which can be viewed on the South Glos website. Dave and Pat Hockey have pointed out that this is a very unsuitable name and understand that it may be changed to a name that they suggested, The Meads or Frampton Meads, which reflect old field names.

Your Focus Team was disappointed not to get the main play area relocated to a more central position. This was not possible because the Government Inspector that over-ruled the Council’s refusal of planning consent, agreed this location as part of the outline planning permission. The pedestrian access off Park Lane has been moved further away from the bend and South Glos Planning Officers haveagreed to try to persuade the developer to fund a safer way of getting across this busy road. We are assured that the arrangements for play both on this area and throughout the site will be exciting and interesting for children of various ages.

The shop is still included in the plans but Barratts have indicated their intention to put in a further planning application to replace it.
